The next day.
The sun is shining brightly.
In the hanging arch hall, Zhao Zhen was sitting on the seat, and he rubbed his eyebrows with a slight headache while listening to the courtiers arguing about the king.
Just as he was about to open his mouth to drive the courtiers out of the Chuigong Hall, Chen Lin quietly approached him and whispered in his ear.
Hearing this, Zhao Zhen raised his brows, and a smile was drawn at the corners of his mouth. When he looked at the courtiers who were arguing underneath, the smile on his face became even thicker, as if something funny was about to happen.
However, things that are fun for him are not so fun for courtiers.
Seeing that the look on Zhao Zhen's face had changed, Lu Yijian and Zhang Zhibai had a hint of playfulness in their smiles, and they secretly guessed whether Zhao Zhen had thought of any bad idea and planned to punish the courtiers.
Just when the two of them secretly guessed.
Outside the Donghua Gate.
The two old guys took their servants and swayed to Donghuamen.
When Yu Linwei in front of Donghua Gate saw them, he looked straight and stood straight.
Seeing the two old guys get closer and closer, Yulinwei took the initiative to let go of the Jinshui Bridge they were guarding, preparing to let the two old guys pass.
It's just that the two old guys walked to the bridgehead of Jinshuiqiao and suddenly stopped.
Kou Zhun took a look at the palace and asked Yu Linwei who was standing on the head of the Jinshui Bridge, "Isn't the court going down yet?"
After hearing Kou Zhun’s questioning, the Guardian of the Imperial Forest had just finished his guard, bowed and saluted Kou Zhun and Cao Wei, "If you return to Kou Gong, you have not yet come down."
When Kou Zhun heard this, a smile of joy flashed across his face. He turned his head to Cao Wei, who had closed his eyes and said, "We're not late..."
Cao Wei nodded his head insignificantly.
It’s not that Cao Wei is posing in front of Kou Zhun, but that Cao Wei is now almost dead. Standing and walking require a lot of strength. When speaking, he will be out of breath and can’t speak clearly, so he can speak less. talk less.
Kou Zhun knew Cao Wei's situation, so he didn't say anything.
If someone else treats Kou Zhun with this attitude, Kou Zhun can go up and draw his two big ears.
"Quickly... bring me and Cao Wei's things..."
Kou Zhun greeted.
The entourage moved the rocking chair, and in the stunned eyes of Yulin Wei on the Jinshui Bridge, placed the rocking chair at the head of the Jinshui Bridge, covered it with delicate and soft animal skins, and stood aside.
Kou Zhun laughed and walked into the rocking chair and beckoned.
The entourage has given a shot of Euphorbia.
Kou Zhun held the Euphorbia, took a trip to the rocking chair, and basked in the sun very comfortably.
Cao Wei also lay down in his rocking chair, holding his own Euphorbia, and also basked in the sun.
With one text and one martial arts, two big men who were once extremely human ministers made a trip to the head of Jinshui Bridge from left to right. The scene was very strange.
There is a way that those who come are not good, those who are good do not.
The two big guys were obviously not idle and doing nothing, and came here to sing Huan.
It must have come to find the fault.
The Yulinwei who was guarding the Jinshui Bridge didn't dare to ask what was wrong, let alone say.
Although they have a special mission, they can know how to use some special privileges when necessary.
But their privileges are of no use to these two bigwigs.
Because their status and achievements were determined, he was lying on the Hanging Arch Hall in this way, and no one would complain.
The guards of the imperial forest not only did not dare to ask or say, but it was necessary to stand in the strongest place to protect the two big brothers from the harsh sunlight to prevent them from getting too much heat stroke.
It didn't take long for the two big guys to lie down at the Jinshui Bridge before the meeting broke up.
The officials walked out of the Chui Gong Hall in twos and threes, and gathered in groups, walking towards Donghua Gate, while discussing the affairs of the state.
"The official family actually didn't get angry today, and didn't drive us out when we were discussing the matter of enforcing the king..."
"Could it be that the officials were persuaded by us and prepared to listen to our advice?"
"It may be possible..."
"..."
Zhao Zhen's abnormal behavior today was misinterpreted by courtiers.
The courtiers did not know Zhao Zhen's pulse. Lu Yijian and Zhang Zhibai, two people who often accompanied Zhao Zhen to discuss politics, knew about Zhao Zhen.
Zhao Zhen didn't get angry with the courtiers today, not because Zhao Zhen accepted the courtiers' advice.
There must be more trouble waiting for the courtiers, so Zhao Zhen generously and kindly let them go.
As Lv Yijian walked outside the imperial city, he whispered to Zhang Zhibai: "What do you think the officials would use to rectify the Manchu civil and military?"
Zhang Zhibai pondered and said, "It doesn't have to be an official..."
Lu Yijian said unexpectedly: "Apart from officials, who else can suppress the Manchu civil and military?"
Zhang Zhibai glanced at Lu Yijian and reminded: "Did you forget Cao Wei and Kou Gong?"
Lu Yijian was taken aback, and hesitated: "They are no longer asking about political affairs."
Zhang Zhibai said quietly: "Just asking about political affairs does not mean that the two of them can't embarrass the civil and military affairs of the dynasty."
Lu Yijian thought for a while and said: "Kou Zhunmen has a long history, and his grandson Kou Ji is a powerful man. Even if he leaves the center, many people are willing to run for him.
I don't find it strange that he can embarrass the civil and military affairs of the Manchu dynasty.
But why should Cao Wei embarrass the Manchu civil and military
He has outstanding merits, but the court is not a place where he relied on his merits.
With his own identity, he overwhelmed the military minister, but it was okay.
But we Wenchen, don't buy his account. "
Zhang Zhibai sighed, and said helplessly: "If he is a vigorous military minister, we are not afraid. The key is that he is about to die now.
He has done a lot to me, and now the government and the public are spreading his reputation for being good at war.
The official family even planned to make an exception to give him a different surname when he was alive.
Such a character suddenly fell in your arms, or fell in front of you.
How many people's heads do you have to use to calm down the anger of everyone in the Song Dynasty? "
When Lu Yijian heard this, her pupils shrank slightly, and there was a trace of fear in her heart.
With Cao Wei's current achievements, it would be great fun to fall in front of whom or in his arms.
When the time comes, Zhao Zhen must kill a man and give everyone an explanation.
If the murder couldn't quell the matter, Zhao Zhen would even punish himself.
Lu Yijian thought for a moment. If Cao Wei fell into his arms, then he would not be enough to see his status as a Ping Zhang Shi in the same school.
Just the nephew of the Cao family and the daughters who went out of the Cao family can't be overwhelmed by his identity as Ping Zhangshi under the sect of the middle school.
Not to mention the old department that Cao Wei has been in business for many years.
If Cao Wei was really humiliated to death by civil servants, those old ministries of Cao Wei would dare to oppose.
Since you don't regard our martial artist as a human being, then our martial artist can only turn you into a dead man.
In the history books, Han Qi was majestic and domineering when he used it in front of Di Qing.
The public shouted out the words, "Donghuamen sang-famous man is a man", which affected the Song Dynasty for a hundred years.
But he also dared to kill Jiao Yong, bullying Di Qing Zhongyong, and would not fight with him.
You let him try to kill Di Qing.
He dared to kill Di Qing, and Di Qing's subordinates dared to oppose.
Regardless of the era, lieutenants and generals in the army admire the capable leaders of the army very much.
Once they recognize the master, they dare to do anything for the master.
Therefore, if Cao Wei falls into someone's arms, everyone and his family will be unlucky.
Therefore, Cao Wei can't mess with it.
Cao Wei can't provoke, let alone the other.
The other one is almost 80. Although his bones are okay, no one can guarantee that he will be suddenly killed by the popularity.
If he is suddenly killed in anger, the entire capital of Song Dynasty will be bombed.
When the time comes, the heads of one family will not be able to quell the matter, and even the heads of ten families and eight families will quell the matter.
If his grandson took the opportunity to get up and went to Bianjing under the name of avenging his grandfather.
There are more dead people.
Maybe Song Jiangshan would have to be buried with him.
So the other one can't mess with it.
I can't say a heavy word.
If you say it, you have to get sprayed.
"If Cao Wei and Kou Zhun really embarrass us, we can only watch and do nothing."
Lu Yijian sighed silently.
Others do the same thing in the same school, it is majestic and prestigious, who wants to suppress who wants to suppress, who wants to scold who scolds.
He was doing things under the same school, and there were a group of ancestors sitting on his head, all of which could not be offended.
He felt aggrieved.
After sighing, Lu Yijian asked Zhang Zhibai, "Should the two of them not be confused?"
Zhang Zhibai curled his lips and said: "Even if they come here, who can do with them? Even if they break into our house, occupy our mansion, and block our door, we have to serve them with good food and drink.
Even if the official is invited to come forward, the official is only kind to persuade.
If they refuse to leave, no one can say it will work. "
Lu Yijian frowned and said, "The officials are the emperors, so how can they let them decide."
Zhang Zhibai said silently: "The officials are eager to watch us digest. How can they offend both of them for us."
Lu Yijian was a little confused.
After a long silence, Lu Yijian stared at Zhang Zhibai and asked, "How can you be sure that those two old guys will embarrass us
Why didn't the government use law to deal with us? "
Zhang Zhibai rolled his eyes and said, "It was given to Cao Wei to be the king, but the official proposed it. Among the courtiers, there were five people who asked Cao Wei to be the king, which was in line with the official's mind.
What the officials were dissatisfied with was that the courtiers had bad intentions and asked Kou Ji to be the king.
Before the officials gave Cao Wei the title of king, it was impossible for him to calm down the heated debate about the king.
Most of the current controversy in the court is encouraged by officials.
If the official really ordered the courtiers not to discuss the matter, who would dare to violate it
Therefore, even if the government wants to deal with people in a way, it will only deal with some of us, and will not deal with all of us.
When he first went down, the official's eyes were wrong when he looked at us. He looked at all of us, showing smirking eyes.
This shows that all of us are in trouble.
At this time, only Kou Gong and Cao Wei can cause trouble for us. "
After listening to Zhang Zhibai's analysis, Lv Yijian gritted his teeth, "Then we will hide after we leave the palace. We can afford the two old guys, but we can't afford the consequences, so it's better not to meet."
Zhang Zhibai nodded in agreement.
At this time, we must seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.
Don't bite the bullet.
If you are tough, not only will you not get the slightest benefit, but you will also easily get into trouble.
The courtiers walked out of Donghuamen, talking and laughing.
As soon as I left Donghua Gate, I saw two figures at the head of Jinshui Bridge outside Donghua Gate.
The courtiers looked at each other and almost saw that Cao Wei and Kou Zhun were sitting at the head of Jinshuiqiao Bridge. It was obvious that the visitors were not kind.
The courtiers looked at each other, no one dared to cross the bridge.
After Lu Yijian and Zhang Zhibai arrived, the courtiers immediately surrounded them.
Chen Yaozuo, Shangshu of the Household Department, said solemnly: "Lv Xiang and Zhang Xiang, these two are probably not good people."
Lu Yijian's face was a little ugly and said, "I can see it by an individual."
Lu Yijian and Zhang Zhibai just talked about avoiding the two of them, but they didn't expect that the two of them appeared so quickly and were stuck at the head of the Jinshui Bridge.
There is a posture of embarrassing whoever crosses the bridge.
"What should we do now?"
Someone frowned and asked questions.
Someone murmured dissatisfiedly, "It's too muddy to rely on the old to sell the old."
Lu Yijian turned her head and glared fiercely at the guy who was telling the truth.
The man hurriedly closed his mouth.
If you really want to offend Cao Wei and Kou Zhun to death, then Cao Wei and Kou Zhun will dare to play with them.
Lu Yijian said with a sullen face: "Let you not stare at Cao Wei and Kou Ji, you must not listen. What about making a king with Cao Wei's credit
He is about to die, can he threaten you and me and the court if he has the king to deepen
In addition, the official only gave Cao Wei the title of king, but did not say that Kou Ji was crowned king. What are you involved in Kou Ji
Really when the family is on the border, what can I do with you
He has a grandfather who is a two-time regent.
When my grandfather was an extremely human minister, some of you hadn't entered the official career yet. "
Speaking of this, Lu Yijian gritted his teeth and said solemnly: "When Kou Laoxi used a knife to kill, none of the officials from the ruling and the opposition could bear it."
When Lu Yijian finished speaking, some people looked ugly and were silent.
Some people disagree.
"Lv Xiang, I don't allow living kings of different surnames to appear in Da Song. This is an ancestral system. This case cannot be opened. Once it is opened, I don't know how many kings of different surnames will appear in the future.
When the time comes, the kings of different surnames in Manchuria will have no place for you and me to speak.
When the time comes, the king of the different surname will replace the former emperor's relatives and generals, and become the new evil of the Song Dynasty.
So this case cannot be opened.
As for the invitation to be the king of Kou Ji, it was also for the consideration of the court.
Kou Ji's credit now is so great that it can't be sealed.
It is necessary for us to alert the officials and the people of the world by appointing the king for Kou Ji.
If Kou Ji is acquainted, he should take the initiative to retire after the class teacher returns to the court.
In this way, it is good for the court, officials, him, and us. "
An imperial censer said seriously.
His meaning is very simple, the imperial court must not have a living king with a different surname.
The memorial is to make Kou Ji the king, just to remind Zhao Zhen, to remind the world that Kou Ji has reached the point where his merits are overwhelming.
Keep Kou Ji staying in the court, and sooner or later he will become a harm to the Song Dynasty.
Kou Ji should retreat bravely, so it's good for everyone.
When Lu Yijian, Zhang Zhibai and many others heard this, they frowned.
Jia Changchao couldn't help but speak: "Private Kou is loyal to the officials."
Yushi replied unceremoniously: "Cao Mengde was also loyal to the Han Dynasty at first, and Ding Wei was also a virtuous official at first."
Jia Chang stared vigorously.
Among the military ministers, Zhu Neng, who had been pretending to be dead in the court hall ever since he returned to the court, suddenly said, "Do you dare to say this in front of Priscilla Kou?"
Yu Shi raised his head and snorted coldly: "Why don't you dare!"
Zhu Neng sneered, "I respect you as a man, then you go and invite those two back. The trouble is caused by you, and we shouldn't let us suffer with you."
Yu Shi heard this and said angrily: "This matter is the court's matter, not our personal matter."
"The court?!"
Zhu Neng sneered: "Can you represent the court? Can you represent my military minister? Can you represent my Privy Council? You have the courage to go to my Privy Council and repeat your words.
Believe it or not, the people in my Privy Council will cut you a thousand times. "
Yu Shi said angrily: "Zhu Neng, you are presumptuous!"
Zhu Neng said disdainfully: "Laughter?! Only Privy Council Kou and officials can represent my Privy Council. My Privy Council is self-contained, and it is not under your jurisdiction or discussion.
So you guys got in trouble and have nothing to do with my Privy Council.
So please solve your troubles as soon as possible.
If the trouble you caused prevented us from returning to work in the Privy Council, then you should be responsible for the subsequent guilt caused by delaying the military plane. "
Yushi will yell at him.
Zhu Neng didn't give him a chance. Zhu Neng continued: "The Privy Council is now coordinating the movement of nearly a million soldiers and horses, as well as food and grass. .
This time we played against the Black Khanate, Qingtang, and Liao Kingdom in the Great Song Dynasty, and countless military ministers have achieved great merits.
I believe that some of them will take out their own credit because of pity for their subordinates, and die in exchange for your whole family. "
Yu Shi's eyes widened, and his body trembled with anger.
But he didn't say any more arrogant words.
Because there were some straight-tempered people among the military ministers, they could really do the kind of thing Zhu Neng said.
There are others whose credit has been so great that it is hard to be rewarded.
They shouldn't mind using part of the credit in exchange for the fate of Yu Shi.
Zhu Neng is not frightening him. If there is a real opportunity to baffle the military and cause the death of a soldier of the Forbidden Army, if someone is held accountable, someone must be held responsible.
Punishments such as dismissal from office are not acceptable to the soldiers of the Forbidden Army.
They prefer to see the head of the culprit.
"enough… "
Lu Yijian frowned and shouted, "Have you not been arguing enough in the court? Are you still arguing here? What we have to do now is to ask the two to leave. Instead of quarreling here.
Looking at the posture of those two, it is obvious that they are not willing to give up.
If we quarrel here any longer, maybe we won’t even be able to get out of the palace today. "
As soon as Lu Yijian said this, the courtiers fell into silence.
Lu Yijian named him and said: "Zhu Neng, you have friendship with Kou Zhun, you are also a military minister, and you can talk to Cao Wei, so go and persuade them."
Zhu Neng snorted, not salty or indifferent: "I don't have such a big face..."
Lu Yijian said displeased: "This is not the time to be angry. As a courtier, you should take care of the overall situation."
Zhu Neng squinted his eyes, staring at Lu Yijian, and said unceremoniously: "Is Lu Xiang teaching me to do things, or is he telling me to do things?"
Lu Yijian stared subconsciously and wanted to curse.
But Zhu Neng continued: "If you teach me to do things, I don't want to listen. If you tell me to do things, then ask Lu Xiang to take out the soldier seal of the Privy Council.
My Privy Council is different from your other offices.
We are only under the control of officials and privy envoys.
No matter how great other human rights are, they cannot control us. "
Lu Yijian wanted to hit someone angrily for a moment.
He was also confused by lard at the beginning, and he would actually agree to the independence of the Privy Council from other government offices.
Now the Privy Council is not in their control, and they can't intervene in the affairs of the Privy Council, and the people in the Privy Council are using this kind of rules to pinch him.
How could he not be angry.
"Wang Shu! Go!"
Lu Yijian could not instruct Zhu Neng to do things, so he could only instruct Wang Shu, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, to persuade his father-in-law.
Naturally, Wang Shu couldn't be as tough as Zhu Neng did with Lu Yijian.
Zhu Neng is not afraid of Lu Yijian, because it is very likely that Lu Yijian will not be able to control him for a lifetime.
But Wang Shu had to be afraid, because Lu Yijian was his boss.
"Go and try it..."
With a slight salute, Wang Shu stepped onto the Jinshui Bridge.
When he reached the end of the bridge, Kou Zhun felt someone coming and shook the Euphorbia in his hand.
Seeing Kou Zhun seemed to be using the Euphorbia to stop him, Wang Shu hurriedly shouted.
"father in law!"
Kou Zhun heard Wang Shu's shout, and he paused with the halberd in his hand.
Wang Shu approached Kou Zhun and gave a respectful salute, "Father-in-law..."
Before Wang Shu could speak, Kou Zhun waved his hand, "Go home by yourself, don't stand here to block the old man from basking in the sun."
Wang Shu hesitated, nodded, glanced back at the courtiers on the other side of Jinshui Bridge, arched his hands slightly, and hurriedly left the side of Jinshui Bridge.
When the courtiers saw this, they looked at each other.
"What do those two mean? They put on a posture of blocking people, but let Wang Shu leave. Don't they want to block people, they want to be a door god?"
Someone murmured.
Lu Yijian thought for a while and told the Yushi who had just spoken, "Go..."
Yu Shi hesitated, Lu Yijian stared.
Seeing this, Yu Shi gave in.
Yu Shi went to the Jinshui Bridge and just walked to the head of the Jinshui Bridge.
"Boom..."
With two muffled noises, the two Euphorbia crossed and fell to the ground.
When Yu Shi saw this, his cheeks blushed a little, "Kou Gong, Cao Wei, what are you two doing?"
Kou Zhun turned his head slightly, glanced at Yu Shi coldly, his lips lightly opened, "Go away!"
Yushi trembled and felt the unprecedented humiliation.
He gritted his teeth, trembling all over, and wanted to accuse Kou Zhun.
But under Kou Zhun's cold eyes, he didn't say a word.
Don't look at him being fierce in front of Lu Yijian and others.
In front of Kou Zhun, he really couldn't get fierce.
Since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, the Yushi rarely got guilty for words, and almost no one would provoke the upright Yushi, and there would be no swords and axe.
However, during the regency period, the most slashed was Yushi.
